OBSERVATION TOWER

Detroit Urban Masterplan The key idea that was used to kickstart this urban masterplan was integrating as many renewable energy sources as possible (specifically wind generated energy) to create an efficient and sustainable way of living. Going green and having net zero buildings is a large inspiration to the design and this is possible due to on-site vertical axis wind turbines. Since the focus of the design was heavily influenced by renewable wind energy and vertical axis wind turbines, this was used to generate a masterplan which follows the same notion. The layout of the urban grid was influenced by looking at objects in nature that respond to the forces created by wind. Well-known objects that move due to wind are the Sycamore seeds. These are symmetrical clusters of yellowish-green flowers. They detach themselves with randomness and helicopter down to Earth.

Within the seed there is a main vein which acts as the main source of nutrients with multiple little routes running off from it. This main ‘backbone’ is used to generate the main roads and follows the same design language as the Sycamore seed. Located right at the centre of the urban plan there is an observation tower which is not only used as a viewing platform but acts as a landmark for the area. The tower is designed in such a way which emulates the graceful motion the Sycamore seed creates when falling from a tree. The tower encapsulates the subtle motion by having three viewing platforms that twist as they descend toward the ground.

02 SYNERGY

Intergenerational Housing Collaboration Project with Grace Clifford

Mornings are my favourite time here at my new apartment. As the sun floods into my bedroom, I get out of bed and through my window I notice an older couple sitting in the park across the street, enjoying a cup of coffee like they do every morning.

I am thankful today, as I am every day, to be able to wake up to such a welcoming neighbourhood—a stark contrast to my recent living arrangements. As I slide open the patio door and step outside, I am greeted with birds chirping and distant chatter. I head back inside to wake up my eight-yearold daughter. Saturdays are our favourite day because that’s when the pop-up vendors from the Eastern Market come to the public square, they always sell the coolest stuff! We head over to the book shop first to look around, as we normally do on Saturdays. After we trade in our books for new ones, Kate and I venture up to the café. We are greeted by Sam who has our drinks ready for us. I check the bus schedule that’s posted in the café, I plan on catching the 2:00 bus downtown to do some shopping.

As we sit down in our usual spot on the patio, we begin reading our books. This is my favourite time of the day; I could sit here forever. After being captivated by the first few pages of this book, Kate tells me she thinks the vendors are opening up, so we pack up our things and head over to see what they’re selling today. As we stroll down the steps toward the public square, my daughter points out the painting that I did on the mural wall, she loves it and hopes to do one herself one day. It’s the first one I’ve done since I moved here. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but after all the positive feedback I got, I may keep doing them. I love that artist from all over the city can come here and express themselves through art. As we stroll through the vendor carts, I purchase a necklace from the jewellery stand for Kate and an asparagus fern for my garden. We head back to the apartment to get ready to go downtown. It’s so nice that the bus stop is so close by. As we get on the bus, I feel grateful to be able to live in a community that seems to have been built just for me.

Installation Piece Collaboration Project with Grace Clifford

“Perhaps, freed of the implicit desire of the eye for control and power, it is precisely the unfocused vision of our time that is again capable of opening up new realms of vision and thought.” - Juhani Pallasmaa

04 SCULPTURE ARTIST HOUSE Landform Building

A modern contemporary design that seamlessly blends into the landscape around it. Set in the California hills, this landform house maximizes the views by having an almost fully glazed, rear facing facade. This design features a very private front facing facade with no windows, and once around back, the property reveals a rather large public space with a pool.

Further near the bottom of the property is a studio workshop that was specifically designed for the needs of the client.

05 GLETA

Timber Construction Office Collaboration Project with Grace Clifford The Great Lakes Engineered Timber Association Headquarters (GLETA) serves as a demonstration of GLETA’s commitment to a sustainable carbon-neutral future. This design integrates the careful selection of forms, materials, building systems, and renewable energy technologies to create a high-performance, low-carbon, low-energy waste example of responsible and progressive design and construction practice. The building is approximately 190,000 gross square feet of mixed-use space throughout 12 stories. The building’s primary purpose is to provide flexible office space, for occupancy by GLETA, and for lease to other tenants.

The project is located adjacent to the Detroit River Walk and the Dequindre Cut Greenway. The design embraces the amenities and numerous linkages provided by these adjacencies. The design creates an open and inviting pedestrian-friendly urban zone in accordance with the Detroit East Riverfront Framework Plan.
